WVC 3 - 2 - 31
§3-2-31. Rules pertaining to voting after registration or change
of address within the county.
(a) A voter who designates a political affiliation with a
major party on a registration application filed no later than the
close of voter registration before the primary may vote the ballot
of that political party in the primary election. Political
parties, through the official action of their state executive
committees, shall be permitted to determine whether unaffiliated
voters or voters of other parties shall be allowed to vote that
party's primary election ballot upon request.

(b) A voter whose registration record lists one residence
address but the voter has since moved to another residence address
within the precinct shall be permitted to update the registration
at the polling place and vote without challenge for that reason.
(c) A voter whose registration record lists one residence
address but the voter has since moved to another residence address
in a different precinct in the same county shall be permitted to
update the registration at the polling place serving the new
precinct and shall be permitted to vote a challenged or provisional
ballot at the new polling place. If the voter's registration is
found on the registration records within the county during the
canvass and no other challenge of eligibility was entered on
election day, the challenge shall be removed and the ballot shall
be counted.

(d) A voter whose registration record has been placed on an inactive status or transferred to an inactive file and who has not
responded to a confirmation notice sent pursuant to the provisions
of section twenty-four, twenty-five or twenty-six of this article
and who offers to vote at the polling place where he or she is
registered to vote shall be required to affirm his or her present
residence address under penalty of perjury, as provided in section
thirty-six of this article.
